Yes, include that e-mail.
Some countries really don't provide PCC to those expats who are no longer living in that specific country, Saudi Arabia is one of them.

I sent my DS-230 packet thru Express Mail Service on Oct.25 and when I checked the USPS website for tracking it says, that my packet arrived on 26 of October from Saudi Arabia, today is Nov.6 already but still no News, our attorney is just waiting for that to be sent to NVc together with the AOS Packet.

Should I be worried that its lost? unsure.gif I hope not wacko.gif .

Yes you can, they said its more likely to be processed smoothly because NVC will receive all the documents at the same time.

It won't affect your petition at all. The only thing you should worry about is the potential to have an interview date during that week.



Yes, I guess that's her reason. Well, until now we haven't move on with the NVC because of the service Express Mail Service (EMS) provided was very incompetent, It's been 21 days now and my DS-230 packet haven't arrive in my attorney's office in San Francisco.


I believe you won't have an interview date set up by then or at least not for that time of the year, so enjoy your vacation in Italy good.gif

Hey there folks,

I asked my wife that I will travel to Milan on January for one week to visit my cousins and celebrate New Year as well but she is worried that it will affect the petition.

Do you think so?

The first interview was fine the lady told my husband that she believed him but they just need to do some AP. We had lots of emails, call logs, lots of pictures, plane ticket, chat messages.



I am so so so sorry for this mess, Jacii. I would suggest you get in contact with your Congressperson or Senator and get them involved. The fact that they've potentially lost your husband's passport is a major issue on top of the denial.



Yes, I agree!! Hire an attorney if you have too

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhich is Which
I just wonder why the informations being relay by these two resources is very complicated, last Nov. 27 I called NVC and the AVR told me that they received our documents on Nov. 25, on Nov 30 I called the NVC and talked with the live operator but she said they don't have our documents in the system yet. How is that?
This morning I called again and thru AVR the message was changed to something was generated and about to be sent to our attorney but when I spoke with the live operator they just gave the information that the AVR gave me last Nov. 27.
Then I dialled again and check what the AVR said recently but it was changed again to "The documents were received on Nov. 25". wacko.gif wacko.gif

The only red flag I could see with our case is that we were introduced to each other by my aunt who happened to be my wife's co-worker. I just keep on thinking about it. My auntie just introduced us to each other way back in 2003 and we started sending letters and calling each other, I just hope it will not cause us a red flag.

kicking.gif kicking.gif Guys, THANK YOU ALL for the informations we are sharing with each other, I just called the NVC last night and I got my interview date, it will be on January 25,2010 at 2:30 pm. I am so nervous now, one more thing please help me with this one.
Did you guys get another NBI and PCC for your interview or the NVC forwarded those you submitted previously to the Embassy?
I don't know if I still need to get another NBI clearance from the Philippines or not. wacko.gif wacko.gif


First of all, congratulations. Second, all the documents that you submitted to NVC will be waiting for you at the embassy on the day of your interview. In my case, I took the originals of BC,MC and CEMAR with me just to be safe and photocopies of the NVC documents. I think I read before that your birth certificate was corrected so I would suggest to bring NBI clearance with whatever name you have on your birth certificate. That's what I did that's why my visa was not delayed. I submitted NBI to NVC with my corrected name and I had another NBI with my mispelled name on my interview. The CO was impressed. He didn't believe me at first. He thought what I had was the same NBI that I submitted to NVC until I showed him. He said that normally, when he ask people to submit another NBI, they would say they have it and they would give him the same document. It's all up to you. Just relax, as I have said there's nothing to be nervous about. If you're real and you have the proof to support your case, you will do fine. It's not as scary as most people thought. Goodluck Lee smile.gif

bethie


Thanks Bethie, my NBI has the AKA name on it so both names appear on my NBI and thats the one I submitted to the NVC, so do you think I don't need to get another copy of my NBI from the Philippines?

I will be having my interview in Riyadh and honestly, I really cant help my self not to be nervous and keep on thinking about that day.
